Bogus Billionaire Chapter 175
Yet, Jack's final action seemed undoubtedly like a challenge to Eddy.Eddy clenched his fists. He felt enraged, as though something precious had been stolen from him. It made him open the car door with a slam. He floored the gas pedal.With a loud vroom, the Ferrari shot off like an arrow.Only after the car sped away did the crowd return to themselves.None of them could believe their eyes.They hadn't been dreaming … had they?"Somebody pinch me! Pinch me quick! Did I see that wrong? Did Caroline Evans actually reject Mr. Eddy and get into another man's car?"Amidst the packed throng, Vivian sneered disdainfully.When Susan saw this, she started mocking. "That ruffian just now had to be Caroline's husband, right, Viv? He doesn't look like someone with money or power. It's no wonder she's been hiding him and doesn't even say what her husband does. It's because he's a disgrace."Someone was confused. "From the looks of it, Mr. Eddy was here to pursue Caroline. Why doesn't Caro

Caroline sat opposite Gwen.The shop owner said, "Um …"Caroline took out several hundred dollar bills from her bag. "I'm really sorry about bothering you, sir."The owner accepted the money and didn't feel like he could say anything more. Besides, no other customers were in the shop, and their presence didn't disturb his rest. Thus, he went behind the cashier's counter and played with his phone."You're drunk?" Caroline nudged Gwen.Gwen looked up, acting as if she'd only just spotted Caroline. "Carol, you're here."She looked as she normally did, but Caroline could tell that Gwen was putting on an act."What happened?" Caroline asked in concern.Gwen's eyes stung. She pouted slightly. "N—nothing."She'd seen Sean and some other woman walk into a jewelry store this morning when she'd been buying breakfast.Caroline didn't question her further when she saw that Gwen didn't want to answer. She walked past the fridge and took out a few bottles of beer. "Do you want to drink

Caroline shook her head. "What are you thinking? I'm only giving an example. It's been a few months since I married Kirk, I think. I've met his family too. But for some reason, I feel like the person I know isn't the real him. It's just a persona he's showing me."Gwen replied, "Maybe you'll get to know him more if you spend more time together.""Maybe." Caroline half-heartedly put her hair up. "Enough, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's drink!"Gwen raised her glass and was about to clink it with Caroline's. But then her gaze fell on Caroline's neck. "Carol, what happened to your neck?"It didn't look like a hickey. On the contrary, it looked like someone had throttled her.Caroline remembered the marks and put her hair back down."It's nothing.""Is Kirk abusing you?" Gwen sprung up as she said this. "I'll kill him!""Calm down." Caroline pulled at Gwen. "It has nothing to do with Kirk. It was Eddy.""Then I'll go look for him!" Gwen grabbed a beer bottle and heade

A long while later, Caroline finally came back to herself and pushed Kirk away. Her voice was softer as she said, "My legs are numb."Kirk stepped back and bent to pick Caroline up. "Then let's go home."Caroline looked at Kirk through the warm yellow streetlights.Kirk's gaze was deep and determined. His eyes were perfect.If she had met Kirk before Eddy, she would have surely fallen for him.She would have sacrificed everything for him without regret, just as she had eight years ago.But she wasn't that person anymore.She wasn't the same brave girl as eight years ago.She leaned her head gently into Kirk's embrace, silently listening to his strong heartbeat. She didn't want to think about the future.At least this moment was real.Since Caroline had a few drinks, she fell asleep as soon as she got home. Kirk carried her to the master bedroom on the second floor.By the time he covered her with a blanket, the red marks on her neck had faded. Still, Kirk's heart tightened

Gwen looked at Sean and saw how he seemed to be carefully trying to get on her good side. She felt displeased. "I'm not that difficult."As she said this, Gwen tossed the pills into her mouth. Then, she picked up the glass of water and drank it all.Sean watched this silently. Once Gwen was done, she smiled."I laid out the bed for you …""Hold it!" Gwen got up and said casually, "Sean, about what happened last time. It was a unique occurrence. You're Kirk's friend, and I'm Caroline's friend. There's no avoiding some interaction between us. Let's use this opportunity to work this out."Sean was taken aback. "How do you want to settle it?""Let's pretend it never happened." Seeing Sean pause, Gwen patted his shoulder in a chummy manner. "You're not looking for me to take responsibility, are you?"When she said this, their eyes met. It seemed as though a spark of electricity had traveled between them.Gwen quickly looked away. Her voice was small as she said, "Please, it's th

Kirk didn't answer Caroline's question. Instead, he gestured with his chin. "The car's here."It was then that Caroline noticed it was past 9 am.She hurriedly shoved a slice of bread into her mouth. "I'm leaving."Even after Caroline got into the car, her mind was still filled with what Kirk had said. Corvin had spent the past few days frantically looking for Vithalian pizza.Caroline pursed her lips.When she arrived at the design department, she felt like everyone was looking at her strangely.They looked as though they were taking pleasure in her misfortune. It was as if something big had happened.After Caroline walked into her office, she called Cheryl over.The second Cheryl came in, she quickly said, "Caroline, we're in trouble.""What is it?""Just now I heard them say that Corvin French is here.""Oh?" Caroline raised an eyebrow. "Then where is he now?""He just left. Apparently, Vivian got him to come here. Plus, he's already looked at her design and praised it.

Jules was afraid that his boss would be unhappy if Caroline lost."Ms. Evans, you mean …""It's nothing. I'm heading to the cafeteria now."After saying that, Caroline hung up the phone.As he held onto his phone, Jules suddenly felt like he was holding a hot potato instead.Why was such a horrible idea suggested anyway? It was an awful plan to let Caroline and Vivian compete against each other.Now look what was happening. It seemed like Caroline had lost, and he would have to give up his position as president.…The news of Caroline cooking in the company kitchen quickly spread to the company chat group.For a moment, she became the whole company's target of mockery."Is she giving up on herself after finding out that she lost?""I have no words at all.

A good opportunity fell into he

Caroline became amused at the look on the man's face. "Really?" she asked."Why would I lie?"Caroline was relieved. She packed up a portion of the pizza and gave the rest to the cafeteria's staff.Watching Caroline leave, the staff went over to the cook, who had tried the pizza. "Hey, this design director doesn't seem as … useless as the others say. At least she seems quite talented when it comes to cooking."The man looked at Caroline's retreating figure and smiled sunnily."Do you think a normal person could handle a picky man like Eddy Morrison?"He said this so quietly that the others didn't hear it.…Armed with her pizza, Caroline headed to the hotel where Corvin was staying.The company had arranged this hotel for him. So after informing the staff of her identity, Caroline had no trouble getting through.
